Just Bought A Plane? STAY OUT OF FLORIDA !
Sun-N-Fun Fly-In is a nonprofit corporation separate from EAA and
separate from Airventure... It started as a local EAA chapter throwing a dawn patrol/fly-in, but it began to grow and make money... When the EAA began demanding to feed at the trough, the people doing the work in Florida did not see any reason to just hand the money over... For those who think of it as just the winter version of the EAA airshow, go look at the SUN-N-FUN FLY-IN website... No where is the EAA Logo shown... The only concession to the EAA is if you are a member of the Florida Air Museum or the EAA, you will get a price break on your admission fee... in small print and no EAA logo Whereas, go to the Airventure site and the EAA logo is part of the copyrighted banner "EAA" AIRVENTURE... So you know which fat hogs are feeding at the trough... I don't go to either show, much anymore... At Oshkosh the stench of greed takes most of the fun out of it... Sun-N-Fun simply has gotten too big and too commercial, just like AIrventure... I'm looking for a fly-in with more of the old time fun factor... Suggestions will be entertained... I do a mean soft shoe routine denny |
